I noticed this on the [H] and decided to share it with you all.

Nice to see that the Ub5r-3l33t hardware being churned out by the computer world gets noticed by a publication like Popular Science :D

Excellent to hear! I love Popular Science magazine and have for a long time! (Although they should have given it to the 9700 Pro... :bleh: ;) )

I agree... The 9700 was the one that made the huge jump. Not the 9800.:rolleyes:

I bet Peter is upset for sure. :angel:

Naaah, the 9500Pro :) that was the Last Good Card to be released, IMO. Roll on the next chipsets!!! (just 5/6 months to go!)

What the hell did Nvidia win for? They can't even get DirectX9 working on their cards...what's the world coming to. My friend's upgrading his computer and is dead set on a 5700 FX, I tell him to get a 9600XT but he still thinks Nvidia is the king. I think he's been smoking his herbs for too long...he thinks that 256 MBs of Video ram makes everything 2X faster. Oh well....I don't feel like arguing with ignorant people. Let him buy it and complain when he's trying to play Half-Life 2 on it.

These Popular Science's "Best of What's New Award" awards are worthless and pure BS : both ATI and NVIDIA got the same award...

I 100% agree with you
All these mess about nothing...

Both products have won the prize even if Nvnews Headlines only says that Nvidia won it...

It even not worth the time to make it a HEADLINE in the Nvnews main page
So whats the mess about all these????

Nothing special...i am moving on
